Gravity Gravity is what holds you down to Earth. When astronauts are in space, they are floating because they aren’t close enough to a planet to get pulled down by gravity. When astronauts are on the moon or another planet, they get pulled down by its gravity. The Earths gravity holds the moon in its orbit. If we didn’t have gravity, the moon would be floating around in space- and we would be floating around too! This website: http://sciencemonster.com/gravity_inertia.htmlis where I got my information. My experiment is “How high can you drop an oreo before it cracks?” and my information helped me understand my experiment more because, if we didn’t have gravity, and you drop something, it wouldn’t drop. It would just float there. But since we do have gravity, when you drop something, it will fall and hit the floor. And chances are, if you drop an oreo, it won’t be long before it cracks.
Problem
How high can you drop an OREO before it cracks?
Hypothesis
The oreo will probably make it one foot before cracking, because oreos can’t go very far before cracking. Materials: One oreo A foot ruler A hard surface A recording sheet & a pencil
